Fusion Stone Great Lakes fuses together ease of installation, no mortar convenience, a rugged,
traditional visual effect, and four colour choices.
“
Fusion” is defined as “a merging of diverse, distinct, or separate
elements into a unified whole”. So it is with Fusion Stone; the
coming together of the beauty, strength, and maintenance-free
characteristics of traditional stone with the ease of installation and
affordability of stone veneer. Truly the best of both worlds.
Fusion Stone is an easy and budget-friendly way to beautifully
upgrade a home, inside and out. A patented Shouldice innovation,
Fusion Stone is a thin stone veneer that is easily installed with the
included stainless steel clips and screws. Just screw it to the wall
and it’s “Hooked for Life.”
Available in three distinct textures, all backed by a Lifetime
Guarantee, Fusion Stone can be installed on both new and existing
wall assemblies in any weather.

advancing technologies to develop and produce
creative, high-quality products that exceed

Quality, and Service
»» The transformation of standard concrete block into
decorative concrete block through the offering of a broad
spectrum of solid and blended colours.
»» The introduction of Designer Stone. Modifications to the
production process and extensive research and development
marked the genesis of our manufactured stone.
»» The introduction of our Architectural Collection
complemented the broad spectrum of existing Designer
Stone choices. These Architectural Products transformed
blocks of concrete into exclusive sizes and shapes for a
dynamic expression on all modes of construction.
»» The corporate name of Shouldice Cement Products
Limited changed to Shouldice Designer Stone Limited.
The new corporate name better reflected the nature of the
business as stone profiles came to represent the major
portion of sales.
»» The introduction of Fusion Stone, a patented, mechanically
fastened system based on thin veneer stone that can be
installed on all interior and exterior walls using stainless
steel screws and clips. Fusion Stone made masonry
practically accessible to the Do-It-Yourself market for the
very first time.

we produce and the wonderful relationships we are privileged
to enjoy. We eagerly look forward to another 65 years of Innovation,

LEED
F
usion Stone manufacturers Stone Products that
support the principles of LEED with raw materials,
production, life cycle costing and performance. The
benefits of additional durability, design and economic
efficiency are an integral component in every piece of
Fusion Stone.
What is LEED?
L
eadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) is a rating system devised by the United
States Green Building Council (USGBC) to evaluate
the energy & environmental performance of buildings
and encourage market transformation to sustainable
design. Detailed information on the LEED program is
available at www.usgbc.org where the program outlines
the intent, strategies, requirements and technologies
required. Information on LEED Canada is available from
the Canada Green Building Council at www.cagbc.org
What is the Goal of LEED?
L
EED’s overall goals are to improve occupant
well-being, environmental impacts and economic
returns of new buildings.
LEED Certification Points
F
usion Stone products are governed by LEED NC that
provides a checklist of prerequisites and voluntary
credits in six basic categories: sustainable sites (SS).
water efficiency (WE), energy and atmosphere (EA)
materials and resources (MR), indoor/environmental
quality (EQ)and innovation and design (ID). Projects earn
points by meeting technical requirements specific to
LEED NC 2.2 (US) or LEED NC 1.0 (CAN).
www.fusionstone.ca
Why use Concrete Masonry?
F
usion Stone products support the principles of green
management and by using Shouldice concrete
masonry you will contribute to earning LEED points in the
LEED credit categories.
T
he aggregates used to produce Shouldice stone
products are manufactured from the natural reserves
of stone that Mother Nature created millions of years
ago. These resources are processed to an aggregate
that is blended with recycled reserves, cement, iron
oxide colours and stabilizing ingredients to create a stone
product that rivals the beauty of natural stone with a
guaranteed lifetime of performance.”
The Top 10 LEED Benefits
1. The Mass Factor for Energy Performance (EA) Credit 1
2. Construction Waste Management (MR) Credits 2.1 & 2.2
3. Recycled Content (MR) Credits 4.1 & 4.2
4. Local/Regional Material Use (MR) Credits 5.1 & 5.2
5. Durable Building (MR) Credit 8
6. Flexible by Design (ID) Credit 1.x
7. Fire Resistance (ID) Credit 1.x
8. Buildings with Minimal Maintenance (ID) Credit 1.x
9. Resource Protection (ID) Credit 1.x
10. Designed for Disassembly (I D) Credit 1.x
Fusion Stone
T
he natural resources used to produce Fusion Stone
are blended with ingredients in state of the art
manufacturing complexes that create stone products
which may be used not only above grade but at grade
and below grade when required. The integral quality of
Fusion Stone allows this unrestricted use, a factor that
is not always available from other manufactured stone
producers. Fusion Stone is manufactured with the
same composition of materials that are used in load
bearing high-rise construction, bridge overpasses and
every construction project demanding strength and
performance. This is proof of the integral quality and
value of Fusion Stone, a product that performs and
replicates stone in every sense of the word and potentially
contributes to the following sustainable LEED attributes:
which are some of the most natural and pure deposits
in the world. This single source of quality raw materials
provides a guarantee of consistent quality wherever the
stone is used. The major North American markets for
Fusion Stone are within 500 (800km) miles by road or
1500 miles (2400km) by rail.
Durable Building (MR) Credit 8 (Points: 1)
The durability of stone combined with a system
including drainage cavities and durable fasteners
results in a long service life for the building envelope.
The Mass Factor for Energy Performance
(EA) Credit 1 (Points 1-10)
The weight of Fusion Stone provides a mass factor that
absorbs the ambient air temperature and releases this
stored energy throughout the day or night. This energy
performance results in heating and cooling cost savings.
Waste Management (MR) Credits 2.1 & 2.2 (Points: 2)
The manufacturing process utilizes advanced
technology for absolute control during production.
Capture, treatment and recycling provides minimal
impact on the environment and all Fusion Stone
may be crushed and recycled during manufacture or
anytime during the life of the stone. Job-site efficiency
is realized with the components of Fusion Stone being
modular by design for minimal jobsite treatment needs
in cutting, shaping or trimming.
Recycled Content (MR) Credits 4.1 & 4.2 (Points: 2)
Fusion Stone is manufactured with the maximum
percentage of re-cycled raw materials that will not
affect the quality of the Stone. There are no toxic
emissions and all excess water is treated and reused.
Local/Regional Material Use
(MR) Credits 5.1 & 5.2 (Points: 2)
All natural aggregates used are from sources and
reserves located at the manufacturing complexes
800.265.3174
Innovative Design (ID) Credits (Points: 1-4; Max.
Points in ID Category are 4)
The modular components of all Fusion Stone products
allows their use on intricate designs with the synergy
of reducing additional load bearing structural capacity.
Architectural expression without comparison along
